I am sure that all Islamofascists have been emboldened by Obama’s ‘win’ in November. And he will not bother to stop them as they destroy antiquities from all other religions (see the Buddhas of Bamayyan). We are in an International War for the survival of Freedom and Liberty..

One of the most fun things I did on my first visit to Israel last summer was to participate in the Temple Mount Sifting Project.

The darling A-rabs had dumped precious antiquities into the city dump and broken them badly in the process. They also bulldozed part of the Temple Mount, destroying priceless artifacts, while building a stupid stairs. The rubble they created was painstakingly retrieved by Israeli archaeologists and taken to the Temple Mount Sifting Project for sifting.

All of our tour group stood in front of sieve-topped tables and each hosed down a bucket of rubble from the ruins of the Temple Mount. We were to sift through every single pebble and particle on the sieve table before us to find valuable archeological items. Three kids found ancient coins. I found a 1,000 year old shard of Byzantine pottery. Others found bone, ancient tile, glass, etc. That bone could have been from a Temple sacrifice. It filled me with awe that right there before me might have been the remains of one of the Torah's sacrificial bulls or lambs. I really could have stood there for hours, rinsing off bucket after bucket to see what I found. This was HISTORY right before me!

This sounds like a job for Gabriel Barkai and his temple mount salvage operation folks. They need to be sent in to find things in the pile of debris. Otherwise it will be sent through rock crushers.

The problem is how to stop illegal digging and construction, that results in the destruction of artifacts. I have often thought that Israel needed to put troops on the Temple Mount to oversee all happenings. The WAQF vermin controlling the site now have a stated goal to erase all traces of the Hebrew heritage of the site (and all other Israeli sites). That is why they build mosques over all old sites and claim that the original sites never existed.

The WAQF is emboldened by European organizations like the University of Copenhagen that go right along with the Iconoclasm and support it in order to continue to receive Islamic Oil Funding. The same funding they receive.

The Jews are not special. What does Islam not destroy? Most of the historical building and graves surrounding the Kaaba area you see in the Haj season have been bulldozed and disposed of by the fundy Saudis

From your Reply #1 above . . . “and allowing them to be removed and chopped up for Arab Barbeques, according to article previously threaded...”

But there’s this article saying it’s not true, from The Temple Mount Sifting Project - August 11, 2012“Regarding the Reports about Ancient Wooden Beams being Burnt in the Temple Mount”

Earlier this week there were some reports in the media about Arabs burning First Temple Cedars of Lebanon.

These reports were based more on assumptions than facts. The facts are that the stack of wooden beams that was lying on the ground in the courtyard of the Golden Gate for the past few years was removed last Sunday to a new location. Meanwhile, nearby there was a fire burning in a large barrel (see video below). Some reports accused the Moslem Waqf of burning these beams in the barrel.

In reality, none of the beams were burned, but they were all removed to a new location where they are now covered to protect them from the rain. This is something that the IAA and the Jordanian officials were demanding from the Waqf in recent years.
